When I try to install certain software such as Adobe Photoshop 6 or Instant Messenger my operating is misidentified as Windows NT by the setup program. There also an error message frequently generated that states that CTL3D32.DLL is the wrong version and used only with Windows NT. How do I correct this?

Some software that you installed placed the wrong version DLL on your system.

In a quick search, I did not find a W95 version of the 3d control set DLL's

Here are 2 links to sites that have posted DLL files.

http://www.dictacomm.com/Win_Dll/98_2nd/98_2_Dll.htm

Remove any spaces from the pasted links.

CAUTION: BACK up any DLL files that you replace!
Some DLLs must be used in sets of matching revision.
Replacing a DLL may cause the programthat installed it to no longer work.
